Srinagar, Sep 16 (PTI) Nine ultras, including four top militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizbul Mujahideen, were among twelve people killed in separate militancy-related incidents across Jammu and Kashmir, an official spokesman said today.
A Pakistani national, functioning as chief administrator and financial controller of Jammu-Udhampur districts for LeT, Abu Mohammad Sayeed, was shot dead by troops of the nine Rashtriya Rifles in a gunbattle at Nandimarg forest in Kulgam, 70 kms from here last night, a defence spokesman said.
Terming Sayeed's killing as a major achievement, he said the Pakistani national, who hails from Lahore, oversaw LeT operations for the past three years in Udhampur as the outfit's district commander.
Sayeed had apparently come across Pir Panjal in Kashmir valley to exfiltrate back to Pakistan, the spokesman said.
He said the top militant was wanted in several killings had served as the Amir (chief) of LeT madrassa in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
Apart from a large quantity of arms and ammunition, including one AK rifle, a hand grenade, two cell phones and a stamp of district commander of LeT, high denomination Indian and Pakistani currencies were also recovered from the slain militant, he said.
He said two militants, identified as Firdous Ahmad and Shabir Ahmad, belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen outfit were killed in an encounter with troops of 65 Rashtriya Rifles at Wahipora in Pulwama district this morning. PTI
